Could anyone please help?

After spending the last 20 years programming in various dialects of
BASIC I am now learning C.

The problem is that I can't find any command to clear the screen apart
from the ANSI escape sequence but for this to work ANSI has to be
loaded.

What I am looking for is something simular to the statement for the
UNIX system < putchar(26) > that works in DOS.

I am using the TURBO C compiler if that is of any signicance.

Thanks in advance for any replies.


Kenneth.
